How to get imaqe metadata?
I'm hoping for a way to use the Dropbox API to retrieve image metadata (EXIF etc), without download entire images.
Is this supported by Dropbox?
The Dropbox API offers the ability to retrieve some metadata about files, such as file name and size, using endpoints such as the /2/files/get_metadata endpoint. It also exposes some basic media file information, such as
dimensionsandtime_taken, where available. This unfortunately doesn't include the full EXIF data though. You can find all of the metadata offered in the documentation, by expanding the relevant fields, such as by clicking onFileMetadata,MediaMetadata,PhotoMetadataandVideoMetadata.
